In many cultures, words and expressions unique to each society abound. Many of them do not have a clear explanation and sometimes they cannot even be translated, but they perfectly portray the feelings or emotions of the person who uses them.
Japan, for example, has many expressions that do not have a specific translation into Spanish or another language. However, its meaning transcends to other cultures and although we cannot define it in a single word, we enjoy and use that expression in its native language.
